I don't how familiar you are with DHTML, but you could (hypothetically) put
all your content into one DIV or SPAN tag... making it a layer, and make it
invisible.
And then put a "Loading" messing into another DIV or SPAN tag, and make it
visible.

And then put an "OnLoad" handler in the Body tag, that would call
javascript to reverse the two. That would hide the "Loading" layer and show
the content layer.

That would be my suggestion. Course, that's only if you've got a handle on
DHTML basics.
